“There are numerous online programs available throughout the nation, and WKU stands out year after year,” said Beth Laves, associate vice president, Extended Learning & Outreach at WKU. “A significant part of this success is due to the dedicated WKU faculty and staff who continually provide a high-quality, supporting learning environment for online learners.”

Other WKU programs were ranked among the top 100 online graduate programs in the nation include: Best Online Graduate Nursing Programs for the M.S.N., which ranked 23rd; Best Online Graduate Education Programs, which includes online M.A.E. programs for teachers; and Best Online MBA Programs.

U.S. News defines online programs as those with 80 percent or more required coursework available online. The ranking was released Jan. 12 and included online bachelor’s degree programs combining data from all undergraduate level disciplines.

“These 2018 rankings are a testament to the hard work and dedication of countless faculty and staff across campus, including those who provide a variety of support for online learners,” said Cindy Troutman, program manager, WKU Online.

Troutman said online learners receive support from Information Technology, WKU Libraries, academic departments, such as English and math, as well as the Academic Advising & Retention Center, and faculty who teach online work to ensure that students receive quality instruction and support.
